Residents concerned brewery and tavern will ruin neighourhood
Riverview residents made a plea to council to prevent a proposed new brewery and tavern from opening in their neighbourhood at a public hearing Monday night, with some saying: “Why us?”
North Battleford city council will have a second reading in two weeks on amending a zoning bylaw to allow for a potential new tavern at 702 -102nd Street at South Railway Avenue — the site of the former armory building — and will debate the matter then.
The property was also once occupied by Battlefords Trade & Education Centre Inc., which moved to another location in October.
Council also received letters and a signed petition from Riverview residents objecting to a proposed eight-unit apartment building at 691-103rd Street being established in their neighbourhood, coincidentally across the street from the proposed tavern site.
